Why has Nguyen Manh not renewed his contract with SLNA?
(Baonghean.vn) - The old contract between Nguyen Manh and SLNA signed 2 years ago (2016) officially expired right after the end of the 2018 season.
Recently, SLNA's leadership has been negotiating a new contract with Nguyen Manh. The goal of the Nghe An team is nothing more than to convince the goalkeeper born in 1991 to continue playing at Vinh Stadium.
Although there were many teams in V.League “talking”, but before the proposal of SLNA’s leadership, Nguyen Manh agreed to stay with his hometown team. However, the new contract between Nguyen Manh and SLNA has not been completed yet because of a big problem.

According to research, the reason Nguyen Manh and SLNA have not yet signed a contract is because the Nghe An team has not found a sponsor for the 2019 season (the sponsorship contract with Bac A Bank has expired). Only when SLNA has a sponsor will Nguyen Manh's new contract be officially announced.
It can be affirmed that 99.99% Nguyen Manh will contribute to SLNA, instead of moving to another team. This is the best news for Nghe An fans, because Nguyen Manh's talent and importance to SLNA have been proven.
In the friendly match between SLNA and the Ba Don town team (Quang Binh) that took place on the afternoon of November 25 (to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the establishment of Ba Don town), Nguyen Manh also put on his shoes and went out to play. Notably, Nguyen Manh did not play as a goalkeeper but instead as a striker./.
